Carolee, I just love these images. They closely recreate what is happening to me right now except the dog is curled up asleep (at my side) and there are no kids to bother me (if you don’t count the husband.) Most enjoyable and I hope your hour was perfect.

I love how this poem gives a warmth and coziness throughout, then tosses the reader out into a harsher reality. Forces a thought process worth the following. But, would warn you, if they get too good at not disturbing Mom, it’s time to go check on what they’ve gotten into. Wishing you a warm and wonderful New Year, and thanks again for all these prompts,
